Something I make every spring with fresh new salad leaves. Any green leaves you might have or can buy or if you are feeling a little adventurous, you can add some dandelion or ground elder leaves to the mix - as long as you are certain you are able to identify the right plant!

Preparation

Wash the leaves and chop finely. Wash and chop the radishes.

Add some balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil to taste.

I had it with Fish 4 Ever peppered mackerel on top, but you can also have it with, say, basil tofu as a vegetarian option.

Delicious with crusty bread and a glass of homemade gooseberry wine or raspberry beer!
